[01:54.76]斯：你看、分析期货市场有很多技术性指标。 [01:57.32]One is to analyse the stock market. From the beginning of this year to October, [02:00.18]其中一个方法是以股票市场为参照分析。从年初一直到十月份， [02:03.04]the stock market has been in a process of continuous rising of price. Because of overbuying, [02:06.38]股票市场一直处于上升状态。由于过度买进， [02:09.72]the shares has been heavily appreciated. [02:11.49]股票严重超值， [02:13.25]This surely will lead to the breaking of the market and the end of the two-year rising in the stock market. [02:16.74]其结果必然是股市的崩溃,从而结束为期两年的股票牛市， [02:20.23]M:What does that mean to the futures market? [02:21.77]迈：这和期货市场有什么关系呢? [02:23.31]S:One of the consequences is that most investors may be afraid they can't bring back their investment and they may shift their money to the bonds. [02:27.74]斯：股票市场的这种状况导致的结果之一是股票投资者们害怕市场一旦崩溃，他们将无法收回投资，因此将资金转向债券期货， [02:32.16]The shift will undoutedly cause the bond price go up. [02:34.28]这会导致债券价格上扬。 [02:36.40]Another consequence is that, [02:37.47]另一个结果是， [02:38.54]in order to save the stock market form breaking and to guarantee the financial repaying ability, [02:41.89]为了挽救行将崩溃的股市和保证金融偿还能力， [02:45.25]the government will have to raise the interest rate and as a result, the bonds price will rise. [02:48.33]政府必将会抬高利率，这也导致债券价格上涨。 [02:51.42]M:It's intersting. [02:52.20]迈：真有意思。 [02:52.98]S:In fact, when I bought the contracts, the price was still falling until a week later. [02:56.09]斯：实际上，我买了期货合同后，债券价格还在下跌，持续一星期左右。 [02:59.20]M:Did you doubt your prediction then? [03:00.78]迈：那时你怀疑你的判断了吗? [03:02.36]S:Yes, a little bit. I thought it over again and I strengthened my judgement. [03:05.06]斯：是的，有点儿，但我想了又想，坚定了自己的推测。 [03:07.77]M:You finished the contracts at 86-18. But if the price will go up further,...? [03:10.94]迈：你是在86-18的水平上结束了交易，如果它还会上涨呢?.... [03:14.12]S:It is quite possible. You know, it's also possible that it will go down. [03:16.53]斯：那很有可能，但也有可能下跌。 [03:18.95]I think it's time for me to end the action. [03:20.44]我们只想该是抛的时候了。 [03:21.93]M:It's really exciting. Maybe I will try it one day.
